Default Good wheel dressing?

Is there a good wheel dressing that doesn't fly off the wheels onto the paint?
I really like the way the tire dressing makes the tires look so good, but don't like it on the car, it's white.

thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

I use No Touch Wet n Protect. It still slings a little but it comes off without leaving a brown residue and it lasts all week......best tire dressing I have found so far. I have been using it for the last 5 years already...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Zaino tire gloss. Is not the shiniest, but its a wet look and it dries to the tire. Last plenty of time too!

I'll second Zaino, I'm not in favor of the Mop/Glow look so that's why I use Zaino.

same here ive been using Black Magic too. it works great. i use only the gel ones cause every spray on or even the foam, they seem to fly all over your car.

Like they said, any gel with an applicator is what you want. That crap that you spray on the tire ends up penetrating your paint instead of the tire!! The purple meguires stuff works really good IMO...good luck

Bought Black Magic tire gel yesterday, worked real good. Almost bought the silver tinted gel but I thought it would look too ricey. But that red SS has it and it didnt look bad at all. Stuff definately works good, didnt fly off afterwards either.
